Side leg raises ( standing )

How to do it

1. Stand tall with your feet together and your hands where they help your balance.
2. Shift your weight onto one leg and raise the other straight out to the side as high as it will comfortably go, then lower it back down with control.
3. Keep your torso upright and your hips level throughout.
4. Height is not the prize here - a controlled lift with a quiet, level torso beats a high swing every time.
